Maxxis Ardent tires. An aggressive tread in high-volume casing, designed with great traction in mind. The Ardent doesn't forget the racer with large block-style side knobs offering numerous edges for high-speed cornering. The center tread, while ideal for braking and accelerating traction, also features ramped knobs to minimize rolling resistance.

Go Ardent LUST

Pros

Great tread pattern and grip. Durable in the desert so far.

Cons

Price (unless on sale).

Other Thoughts

This is my second Ardent tire for my front wheel, first LUST one. I was concerned with running the LUST without sealant and even inquired with Maxxis. So far so good with the tire rolling on desert trails. Have had small pieces of cactus stuck in the tire that I had to remove and there have been no signs of air leakage - without ruining sealant in them. I try to avoid cactus on the trail but cannot avoid them all of the time.Before the LUST I was using a tubeless ready Spesh Ground Control. For my XC and trail riding I like the grip and control of the Ardent more.

This tire Rips!

Pros

Grips in all kinds of conditions. Plenty of knobs that provide enough grip to rip but not so aggressive to affect rolling resistance. This tire is fast. Tough side wides and great compound. Tire weight not bad for a durable fast all arounder.

Running this tire in rear. It is much better than my previous go to Specialized Ground Control.
